Reply to "Basic anal abscess/fistula questions..."

It’s hard to predict whether an abscess will “point” (make an opening to the surface), but without that they can be real trouble. The best home remedy I’m aware of is hot soaks: as hot as you can do without burning yourself, as long as you can put up with. If a few days of this don’t seem to be changing anything then perhaps you’re stuck with medical intervention, perhaps after stalling a while, if it seems stable. But hot soaks are tried and true, and sometimes help surprisingly deep infections drain.
